This Road I Have Traveled

"The Road Not Taken" -Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


This is one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost. It's written amazingly.

Some people wonder what it would be like "if they had" or "if they hadn't". But for me, that thought just diminishes a little bit more in my mind every day I grow a little older.
If I had, or if I hadn't, I would be me today. I don't regret my mistakes; they have taught me lessons I would have never learned other wise. I've learned to take the good with the bad....to take one step at a time...and most importantly, always depend on God, Who is always right by my side.

I'd just like to say, that I am so very thankful for everyone I have met on the road I have traveled. Though tough, it has also been full of blessings. I wouldn't trade this road for any other in the world.
